At South Pacific Private we recognise that each person is an individual, so although the SPP Programs work within a structured framework, an individualised treatment plan will be developed for each client entering treatment as an inpatient or day patient. All programs involve an integrated holistic approach managed by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, therapists and medical staff.
At the heart of our treatment approach is our Primary Program. This can be undertaken as a day patient or inpatient at South Pacific Private. Individual ‘Goals of Treatment' are set by each client, together with their Case Manager, at the commencement of their program and then monitored throughout.
A client's treatment plan may include one or more of the following components:
Day and Evening Programs
Our aim with the Day and Evening is to bring structure, continuity, fundamental skills and therapeutic support to people struggling with mood disorders or social isolation.
Through small group work and lectures, clients receive validation, confidence, insights and skill sets to make change in their life. As these programs have been modelled on our cornerstone in-patient Primary Program, clients will also have the opportunity to participate in our one week out-patient Changes Program and our Family Module depending on their individual treatment plan.
Inpatient Program
This structured program enables clients to receive tailored treatment for their issues in a safe, drug-free environment environment with 24hr support.
Inpatient admission allows clients to receive 24 hour nursing support - vital for clients who require detoxing from alcohol or another substance, or are struggling with isolation from others.
As with the day and evening programs, clients will have the opportunity to participate in psycho-educational lectures, group therapy (experiential and task based processing), relapse prevention planning and an opportunity to develop self awareness, social and communication skills in a safe environment known as a therapeutic community.
Clients may also participate in the Family Program and / or Changes 1 as part of their inpatient program (depending on their individual plan).
Changes I ProgramThis one-week program is for anyone who is having difficulty relating to themselves and others.
As an inpatient or day patient, in in a safe, supportive environment you will:
- Explore the origins of Adult Behaviour. Our childhood
shapes the way we are as adults. So, if we can identify and address the childhood issues that can fuel various
dependencies, depressions, eating disorders or painful relationships, we can let go and be open to change.
| - work with Emotions. Recognising our true emotions
and being able to express them appropriately, are key ingredients for understanding ourselves and being understood by others.
|
- Learn to Take Care of Yourself. By understanding the
importance of boundaries in relationships and by developing boundary-setting skills we can form healthier relationships.

Family Program
This is a unique cornerstone of treatment at South Pacific Private.
Clients and their family members often participate in Family Week (Monday-Friday) as part of their Inpatient Primary Program or in the Weekend Family Program as part of their Primary Day Program. Clients are supported to invite 2 family members or significant others into the Treatment Centre to participate in structured exercises that teach listening, communication and conflict resolution skills in a safe environment. The family is supported in exploring difficult and challenging issues that may not have been addressed within the home environment. This is an opportunity, in a confidential supportive setting, to learn about how to create healthy communication and relating dynamics in the family.

''Step Down'Day Patient Program Following completion of the inpatient component, a day-patient “Step-Down Program” is available to support clients in making the transition back into their everyday lives.
This one to three week program is designed to help clients integrate what they have learnt here and apply it in the course of taking up the responsibilities of family, work and general living. In the first week following discharge the client attends the day program Monday to Friday. In the second week they attend three days and the third week two days.
Relapse Prevention Program
Relapse prevention is a theme running through each phase of the treatment program at SPP. However, for the extra support people breaking free from an addiction require, we also have a special program running one night a week for 10 weeks. This is held at SPP on Wednesday evening and is recommended for many clients, post discharge, to support them through that crucial first 90 days.
Frameworks for Change
This is an eight-week program offering support and skills designed to assist family members in managing the many emotional, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual challenges that are often present when someone they love is struggling with an addiction. Topics covered include boundaries, stress and coping styles, communication, self care and crisis management.
Changes II
Changes 2 is also an intensive 5 day residential workshop. The focus of this week is therapeutic processing in a small group setting. This is an opportunity to explore unaddressed issues, blocks to recovery or to identify the origins, and the path to resolution, of problematic issues and relational patterns in your life.
